119 Second Ave. at the corner of East Seventh Street (one-time home to Love Saves the Day) is gone … as is 121 Second Ave., where the blast occurred yesterday afternoon (Sushi Park is the retail tenant), and 123 Second Ave., where Pommes Frittes and Sam's Deli were the retail businesses. We do not know the status of Enz's, the shop at 125 Second Ave., though we did hear via Facebook that owner Mariann Marlowe got away safely. The folks at B&H Dairy at 127 Second Ave. reported on Facebook that they are OK and will be open for business soon…

The latest published reports say that 19 people were injured, four critically. Two men are still missing. Will continue to update today throughout the day.

We'll remain closed today. We're day to day and will update as we have news to share. Thanks for love + support.
